Paxman, let's see what happens second half. I was feeling down and out 20 minutes ago. Now Brum have got one back I feel we can still get back onto the great escape ride. You have to have such misplaced optimism to support Cov I guess!

If we win today and Bristol lose, I will be shouting Shakalakaboomboom!! :D

Thorn couldn't do much to freshen things up last weekend when he had no squad depth to call on. Is that his fault?

Remember that old joke about the Titanic staying up if it had been painted Sky Blue? It's a little ironic now that it looks like we're going down 100 years after the Titanic sank. I want to keep believing but it's looking very grim now...

Bristol go 2 up

Sounds like Sisu have got serious over a major overhead they haven't been able to cut yet. Wonder what the back up plan is if we're kicked out of the Ricoh for non-payment?

It'll be bloody tough now, but we can still stay up.

I know it's difficult, given the table, but keep the faith until the maths tell you it's impossible. We are CCFC - if any team can get out of this mess it's the Sky Blues. Two positives: our next two fixtures are easier on paper than Brizzles (inc one against another team we have an outside...

I feel butterflies but confident for 3 reasons: 1. I can't go today, but it sounds like the atmosphere in Bristol will be like Wimbledon, Spurs et al in '97. 2. The Peterborough game was a good game between two good footballing side and if we cut out the silly errors (I pointed out to my old...

Yeah, maybe I had a bit too much time on my hands tonight... :D And a little excited that I can now start to dream about Cov possibly staying up! :)

Your point made me wonder if there is an objective way of judging the releative strength of the remaining fixtures for the bottom 6. This is full of holes, but taking the current form guide here http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D1/oform.html I made a very rough calculation based on the idea...

Aye. The only hope I had earlier this year was the fact that we're Coventry. Historically, we're famous for The Great Escapes! I'm very happy tonight but touching wood though, as we're not out of this by a long chalk.

Given the summer departures, I thought we'd go down this year so if we do escape - and that's looking feasible now - then Thorn has had a successful season overall as far as I'm concerned.

On the other hand, if they win both of those they have Barnsley and Burnley as their last two games, who are bottom and fifth from bottom of the form league at present - though Bristol themselves are third from bottom of that particular table themselves...

I've been looking at the bottom of the table and the bottom 6 teams have 7 games against each other. We have 3, Pompey have 3, and the others a pair each. That suggests us and Pompey have the most to gain/lose from these fixtures. Let's assume, for the sake of argument, the home team wins each...

Get in. PUSB.

I'm glad that's happening. As I said on the Save Our City thread a week or so ago, as a registered industrial and provident society the Sky Blue Trust could be very useful in the future as a way of securing fan involvement in the club if SISU leave, or as a building block for restarting it were...

Struggling to believe this. Maybe there's a verbal agreement with council leaders to back it, but any deal would surely need formal approval by the council's Cabinet or Full Council - and that hasn't happened yet. Nor does it appear on an agenda yet. Edit - At least that's what it appears from...

It seems Jack's source was in the know: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/coventry-city-fc/coventry-city-fc-news/2012/01/12/lukas-jutkiewicz-to-leave-coventry-city-with-manchester-city-starlet-coming-in-92746-30107469/

But under new owners there might be such things again... I was just trying to think about the longer-term possibilities as well as the short-term.
